A leak from the unit above, a burst pipe, or storm damage near the Galleria? ARC responds 24/7 in Uptown and Briargrove, documents the claim, and rebuilds to match.
Uptown, around the Galleria, is home to high-rise and mid-rise condominiums alongside offices and retail. Just west, Briargrove was established in the 1950s with one-story ranch homes; since the 1980s many have been remodeled or replaced with two-story houses.
Condos and single-family homes need different handling. In a building, a leak can affect several units and involve the association. In a house, it's about drying fast and protecting finishes. We handle both.
Extraction and monitored drying to IICRC S500. Water damage restoration
Contained removal and testing to IICRC S520. Mold remediation
Board-up, soot and odor removal, contents cleaning. Fire & smoke restoration
Tarping, board-up, and full repairs. Storm damage restoration
Water from a unit above or a building riser can spread through ceilings and walls into several units. Fast response limits how far it travels.
Intense rain can overwhelm drainage around the Galleria area and nearby streets, pushing water into garages and low entries.
Accidental sprinkler discharges, dishwashers, and ice makers can release a lot of water fast in a condo or home.
High-rise units often have stone or wood floors, custom cabinetry, and limited access windows for work and deliveries. We coordinate with building management on elevators, parking, and work hours, and keep the work contained.
In Briargrove, original ranch homes often have remodeled kitchens and baths over older slab plumbing, while new two-story homes add upstairs bathrooms and laundry. We measure first and remove only what can't be dried.
IICRC documentation from day one, Xactimate estimates, and direct billing with all major carriers, so you pay only your deductible. How the claim process works
If it's unsafe, leave and call 911. Otherwise shut off the water, move art and rugs away from wet areas, and leave damaged materials in place for documentation.
We extract from the surface and below, then dry with monitored setups so site-finished wood and stone installations have the best chance of being saved.
Cabinetry, trim, and built-ins are checked with moisture readings before anything is removed. Where removal is needed, we document it first.
Containment, floor protection along work paths, and one point of contact from the first call through the final walk-through.
Our reconstruction team handles drywall, flooring, cabinetry, millwork, and paint, installed to match pre-loss condition.

Yes. We coordinate with property management on elevator reservations, loading access, and approved work hours, and we use containment and floor protection in common areas and inside your unit.
Often both, in different ways. The association's master policy typically covers the building structure, while your HO-6 policy covers your unit's interior and contents. Your documents decide the split; our documentation supports both claims.
Building staff usually shut down the sprinkler zone. Then call us right away. Sprinkler discharges release a lot of water quickly, so fast extraction protects your floors and the units below.
